  • Cannot play Flash content in IE7

    When I navigate IE7 to any site (including adobe.com) that
    has Flash content, I get a message saying I need to enable
    javascript (it is) and/or upgrade my Flash player. I am running
    Vista, and this worked until sometime in the last week or so.
    Flash content does run on this machine inside Firefox 3.0.1,
    but IE7 appears to be dead.
    The error message I get is "Error in loading DLL". It appears
    to pop up when the javascript code is trying to load or access the
    flash content.
    I tried installing the Flash Player 9.0.124 using the web
    site - no luck.
    I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then installing from
    the web site - no luck.
    I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then used the manual
    installer (Install Flash Player 9 AX) - no luck.
    I tried uninstalling (clean), rebooting, then used the manual
    installer (FlashUtil9f) - no luck.
    I tried running reset_minimal.cmd (per instructions) - no
    luck.
    I tried disabling my AV (Kaspersky) while repeating all of
    the above - no luck.
    I tried running sfc /scannow but it reports no errors.
    I tried the Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Reset to "reset"
    IE to its defaults - no luck.
    I am really, really stumped on this one. What should I do
    next?

    BWolfe, dougclutter, and others with Doug's problem:
    BWolfe, I'm truly amazed that dougclutter and others have had
    this very specific and real problem for so long, and Adobe hasn't
    lifted a finger to cure it. I'm stunned. I've been plagued with
    this thing for at least 3 months now, and have been all over the
    net looking for a remedy, after finding absolutely no help from
    Adobe.
    Here's what my symptoms are:
    IE with Flash works in all accounts but mine.
    Latest Adobe Flash player (10) is properly installed. Flash
    content will play on IE8 in anyone's User Account on this machine
    but mine. The only way flash content will play in my user account
    is if it is started as "Run As Administrator". Can actually run 2
    instances of IE side by side, one started normally, the other
    started as "Run as Administrator". Oprah, U Tube, etc., will run
    flash content in the latter window, but won't in the former. Flash
    errors (in IE7} are something to the effect, "Can't run DLL", with
    line number reference, etc. No help from Adobe, HP (my machine
    manufacturer) or Microsoft without paying them a bundle. Just
    updated IE7 to 8, problem unchanged.
    Elaboratiing:
    When right clicking on where Flash Player is supposed to be,
    then clicking the "about Adobe Flash... ", the browser is sent to:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
    When clicking on the error message at the bottom of the
    browser, the following error message is displayed. (This was
    copied, which Vista gives you the opportunity to do, then pasted
    here.)

    Flash content DOES play with Adobe Flash 10 in my user
    account with Apple Safari browser when started normally, just not
    with IE8 browser. However, the IE8 browser does play Flash content
    in any and every other user account.
    BWolfe, instead of telling us about proper Adobe procedures
    for reporting and troubleshooting these things, how about you
    forward this to someone who can tell us how to fix this thing! I,
    like dougclutter and others, have been thru the entire Adobe Flash
    Player troubleshooting guide, carried out every suggestion there
    exactly, to no avail. I can show you at least 3 other instances of
    different folks with this same problem. And, as I think I've seen
    elsewhere in this thread, and tried myself, Adobe certainly doesn't
    make it easy to report non-paying customer problems, as with Flash
    Player.
    It's high time Adobe gets with at least one of us to help
    diagnose and cure this problem, and then adds the info to their
    troubleshooting guide, or else fix it in the application if
    possible. Whether the problem is in the app, or do to interaction
    with Vista and possibly XP, you guys need to look into this thing.
    I, for one, would be more than happy to help you 'shoot this thing,
    I am and engineer and have been computing since the DOS days.
    Bewildered,
    Dave

    Also second question: Can firefox os connect to adhoc network hosted on my notebook?

    Firefox OS cannot run flash. As for the adhoc network, I'm not sure but I believe FirefoxOS can connect to them

  • Trying to access Flash Player Settings Manager always asks to install but I already have it installe

    I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager.  I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have.  I download it successfully. Windows 7 control panel has Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit. When I link again, I get the same message to download flash player as if I never did it before.  What am I missing? There is also Flash Player (32-bit) icon that invokes Flash Player settings manager.Is this the best I can do to get the website storage settings?  My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.

    I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have.
    I have no idea what you are talking about.  Just at what site are you getting this message to download instead of the settings panel?
    My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.
    If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files.  If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager.  Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer.  However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting.

  • Firefox freezes many times when I'm playing Flash Contents (Youtube)

    Hello. I have upgraded to Firefox 2.6.8 a while ago. The problem occurred recently. Whenever I play Flash Content usually on Youtube, Firefox freezes for many times and it makes my computer runs slower. It's not normal because I have a fast computer

    YouTube videos use the Flash plugin. You can test your Flash plugin and see what version is installed by going to [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash Player test page]. To update Flash to the latest version, see [[Managing the Flash plugin]].
    Starting in Firefox 3.6.4, Flash is loaded in a separate plugin-container process. For the background, see the articles [[What is plugin-container]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins Plugin-container and out-of-process plugins (MozillaZine KB)].
    If Firefox hangs when playing Flash videos at YouTube, it could be a video driver issue, Try turning off hardware acceleration in your [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player display settings] (visit any page that uses Flash, such as [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's test page], then right-click the Flash animation, select Settings, and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" on the Display panel). ...More information here:

  • Playing Flash content affects my touchpad settings

    Hi folks,  I've searched the internet for an answer to this problem and I've ended up here (maybe I should have started here?!)
    My question is; why does playing flash content on any website affect my laptop touchpad settings?  I have 'tapping' enabled which I like, but after playing any flash content the tapping feature no longer works.  The only way to get it back is via Control Panel-->Mouse settings etc, which is irritating the hell out of me.  Any ideas / remedies gratefully recived, thanks
    Nick

  • Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player, some sites do not play video

    Hi,
    Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player and active x from adobe.com, some sites do not play the video. A request box, install the plug in comes. When i click it, it again tries to install the same version of adobe, which i have already downloaded. it is only for some sites.
    May be it is because, it is site problem? How to overcome it

    ActiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
    If you go to the Adobe website to download Flash while using Firefox, Adobe will provide the correct version of Flash automatically. Just make sure you de-select any other programs that Adobe may want to stick you with before you actually download Flash. Then close Firefox and run the Adobe Flash installer.

  • Cannot play Flash video in Chrome 64bit

    I cannot play Flash videos in Facebook when I upgraded my Google Chrome on Windows 8.1 to the latest 64bit v.37 and Flash player to v.15 . The error message was "Can't load plug-in". I enabled Flash players in the plugin section, reinstall Chrome. Nothing worked until I "downgraded" my Google Chrome to 32bit. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    Rebooted Windows and it is working. Note to self : It is good to reboot the system after a few weeks.

  • Am I the only one getting calls from 253-802-0308 about malicious file downloads after updating FIREFOX?

    After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.

    That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

  • After updating Firefox to version 16.0.1, it no longer works in conjunction with "Proxifier"...

    Hi,
    I'm using Firefox on Windows XP professional x64 SP2.
    I also use a program called "Proxifier" which directs all traffic from my computer to the Internet and vice versa through a proxy server and does the name resolution through proxy DNS not system DNS. Before updating my Firefox to v. 16.0.1, everything was working fine: Firefox connections were made through "Proxifier" and all the connections made by Firefox were shown in Proxifier's window.
    But after updating Firefox, traffic from Firefox does not pass through Proxifier and in other words Firefox opens websites if I disable Proxifier. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH Internet Explorer which works fine and its traffic is directed through Proxifier as usual.
    I did an extensive search through Google for a solution, and most relevant results suggest that it may have something to do with messed up LSP_CATEGORIES:
    link: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621320
    and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636088
    Anyway, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and Proxifier, resetting Firefox, resetting winsocks catalog (netsh int ip reset - netsh winsock reset) several times and tried the relevant suggestions in this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-connecting-websites-after-updating?esab=a&as=aaq
    Also tried installing previous versions of Firefox such as v. 13 or 3.6.28 but the problem exists with these versions as well.
    Unfortunately nothing has worked so far. I'm really puzzled since Internet Explorer is working fine with Proxifier and this problem with Firefox appeared only after updating it.
    Can anyone suggest a solution?
    Regards

    hello, you probably have to set-up firefox to use a proxy to connect to the web: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-network-updates-and-encryption#w_network-tab
